Hello newbie with ArcGIS Pro here, I am confused on how to perform this analysis with my map. I have borders of each zip code in my study area, and am attempting to create a table showing which zip codes touch other zip codes (so which ones share a border/are adjacent to each other).

Depending on how you'd like to see the results, you can use a Join Operation of "one to many" or "one to one."
